Hi… A simple thing that you can do is to put a hidden field in the document with a key value. So next time when u want to search for the specific doc, delete and update it, you just need to search the particular document by the specific key and then delete it.

Hope that satisfies your query

hi…

In fact it can be… But I worked more on it and found an easier way around.

When you copy a doc to another database using lotusscript it always returns a handle to the doc copied in the new database. Using that handle you can get the UniversalId of the copied document.

Set ndoc=presentdoc.CopyToDatabse(“Database”)

ndoc.UniversalID ‘’‘’‘’ This will give you the new document’s Universal ID which you can use later…
